Walter’s Art Museum Collection of Islamic Manuscripts<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe term \u201cIslamic art\u201d encompasses the entire realm of artistic production in those lands where, from the 7th century onward, the Muslim religion took hold. Islamic art includes not only objects used in the service of religion but also those created for the courts of the Middle East and Central Asia, as well as articles used in everyday life, over a territory that at its height stretched from present-day Spain and North Africa westward to India. The museum\u2019s holdings reflect the cultural diversity and geographical range of Islamic cultures.<\/p>\n
